Freeware Game Pick: Squid Yes! Not So Octopus! (Oddbob)
Squid Yes! Not So Octopus! is a new arena shooter from the author of War Tw... Bus and the Tempest-inspired G-Force. Alien robots from the planet Thwip are invading the home of a mutated radioactive squid, so you must assume control over this deadly creature and drive back the invasion with your patented beams of electro death.
You earn a point for every minute you survive in the game. The enemy assault last a whole eight minutes, and if you manage to make it past that point then the aliens will concede defeat and return to their homeworld, allowing you to have your cup of tea in peace and serenity once again.

I can see this being one of the top 20, if not 10, best freeware shmups by the end of 2009. Very fun, and great setup options!
